哥林多後書

第2章

1 我自己定了主意再到你們那裏去,必須大家沒有憂愁。

2 倘若我叫你們憂愁,除了我叫那憂愁的人以外,誰能叫我快樂呢?

3 我曾把這事寫給你們,恐怕我到的時候,應該叫我快樂的那些人,反倒叫我憂愁。我也深信,你們眾人都以我的快樂為自己的快樂。

4 我先前心裏難過痛苦,多多流淚地[with many tears]寫信給你們,不是叫你們憂愁,乃是叫你們知道我格外的疼愛你們。

5 若有叫人憂愁的,他不但叫我憂愁,也是叫你們眾人有幾分憂愁。我說幾分,恐怕說得太重。

6 這樣的人受了[this][many]人的責罰,也就夠了。

7 倒不如饒恕[forgive]他,安慰他,免得他被過分憂愁所吞吃[swallowed up with overmuch sorrow]

8 所以我勸你們,要向他顯出堅定不移的愛心來。

9 為此我先前也寫信給你們,要試驗你們,看你們凡事順從不順從。

10 你們饒恕[forgive]誰,我也饒恕[forgive]誰。我若有所饒恕[forgave]的,無論我饒恕了誰[to whom I forgave it]是我為你們的緣故代基督饒恕的[for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ]

11 免得撒但趁著機會勝過我們,因我們並非不曉得他的詭計。

12 我從前為[preach]基督的福音到了特羅亞,主也給我開了門。

13 那時,因為沒有遇見兄弟提多,我[spirit]裏不安,便辭別那裏的人往馬其頓去了。

14 感謝神。常帥領我們在基督裏誇勝,並藉著我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。

15 因為我們無論在得救的人,並在滅亡的人[in them that are saved, and in them that perish]都為基督的馨香之氣,獻與神[unto God a sweet savour of Christ]

16 在這等人,我們[we are]就作了死的香氣叫他死;在那等人,就作了活的香氣叫他活。這些事[these things]誰能當得起呢?

17 我們不像那許多人,混亂[corrupt]神的道。乃是由於真誠[sincerity],由於神,在神[sight]前憑著基督講道。

2 Corinthians

Chapter 2

1 BUT I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in sadness.

2 For if I make you sad, who can make me happy, but him whom I made sad?

3 And I wrote this same thing to you, so that when I come to you I may not be made sad by those who ought to make me joyful; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4 For out of great affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote you with many tears; not to make you feel distressed, but that you may know the abundant love I have for you.

5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me only, but to a certain degree all of you, therefore the news will not be a shock to you.

6 The rebuke of many persons is sufficient for such a man.

7 So that from henceforth you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one will be overcome with overmuch grief.

8 I beseech you therefore that you confirm your love toward him.

9 For that is why I wrote you, that I might know by your word whether you are obedient in all things.

10 To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for anything which I have forgiven, to whomever I forgave it, it is for your sakes I forgave it in the presence of Christ:

11 Lest Satan might take advantage of us: for we know his devices.

12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas with the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me of the LORD,

13 I could not rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; hence I took leave of them, and left for Mac-e-do'ni-a.

14 Now thanks be to God, who has made us in the pattern of Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge through us in every place.

15 For we are a sweet savour to God through Christ, in those who are saved and in those who perish:

16 To the one the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is worthy of these things?

17 For we are not like those who corrupt the word of God: but according to the truth, and as men of God we speak through Christ in the sight of God.
